use of network ip number?

Postby Pete_R » 27. July 2005 13:36

Hello,

Is it possible to use my network ip number to access the index page. Or is XAMPP only to be used with "localhost".......

using: http://localhost/xampp/index.php shows correctly the startpage.
using: http://myipnumber/xampp/index.php times out the browser shows blanc page only.

Thanks

You can use both, IP and name.
eg:
http://localhost/xampp/ is the same as http://127.0.0.1/xampp/

If http://LAN-IP/xampp/ is not working, then you have a firewall which block external access.

Hello,

Yes on our companies intranet we do have indeed a firewall. But should it not be possible to have access to the php server on this intranet within the intranet bounderies?

Thanks

I mean a personal firewall on the server pc.

example:
server 192.168.0.1
on the server http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ is working

client 192.168.0.2
on the client http://192.168.0.1/ is not working.

--> so there is a fw on the server pc installed and active.

Yes, right again....There is a mcaffee firewall. When I put it of it still gives me an error message:

Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.


Any idea???

Thanks

I think you should ask your network administrator.

(It's realy no problem to access Apache from another pc with the default config.)

Yes, at home where I do not have any restrictions on my pc, everything runs fine. So I'll wait and see when our PHP-it man get's back from holiday. PHP is not yet official within our company. It's kind of experimental. So probably still some typical network issues to solve. I'll keep you posted on a eventual solution for what ever problem this is.

Kind regards
